Sadly, longer jail time is purely placebo. Plenty of studies show jail time has no incidence on crime rate. Sure, locking people for longer would delay recidivism, but we could do better than that.
It’s not about logic though. Longer jail time proponents do lean on the emotional argument of a few anecdotal cases or recidivism. This tend to make flashy headlines and stick with the population.
Interestingly, we’ve got the same glitch in the Gregorian calendar, where the year 0 doesn’t exist. So the 21st century started in 2001…
I don’t have confidence in any majority government. The elected party doing as they want and ignoring part of the electorate is a failure of democracy. Every motion should be evaluated on its merit, not through agreements of party support. In that sense, the likelihood of a majority Conservative after an election would be a bad thing.
The opinion of Linux desktop users (or any users really) do not count in the enterprise world. Somehow, if management bought in on the Crowdstrike rootkit bandwagon, you’ll see it on corporate hardware. It doesn’t matter if it’s a bad plan; it doesn’t matter if it gives an American company a backdoor to all you infrastructure; if the CISO decides everyone gets it, everyone get it.
The only thing you can really do as a lowly employee is keep any such device away from any personal info or network as if it’s infected by malware (which I would argue is exactly what it is).
You also can’t make star ships out of an sdcard
As a bytecode tinkerer, I’d say considering NOP to be global knowledge is a slippery slope.
just tag yourself as “early-access” and suddenly everyone will forgive your flaws.
As a developer, I really don’t like how Wayland has fractured the ecosystem. Competing immature protocols are still all over the place while the immobility of x11 has spoiled us for years. It’s getting better, but in the meantime I can still write an x11 app which will work mostly everywhere (thanks to xwayland), whereas a wayland app may not work everywhere (not on X11, and not on compositors which don’t implement the right combinations of protocols).
Consider IEEE754 arithmetic as monadic, simple!
Someone is confusing indices and cardinality.

It seems like they also have a “password grid” multi-factor option that you can print. I hate seeing custom authentication schemes (or insecure ones like SMS) instead of standards like OATH-TOTP, but I do applaud having accessibility options.
This! I see the hype around AI and it’s like everyone has lost their mind. You wouldn’t accept a statistical study without sampling info (dataset size, origin, selection, filtering, bias, reproductibility, etc). Why would we not ask the same with LLM or generative AI? It’s like everyone got so excited about models built on large datasets that they forgot we already had procedures for handling data.
This is fascinating! I couldn’t find much info on that and actually, what I found implies that there were some on Canadian bases not just in Canada, but around the world. That is, from if old letters from the Diefenbaker Center are representative of history.
